Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes

Imagine pancakes and cinnamon rolls had a baby. A very tasty baby. You'd have these little wonders:I highly recommend them. My husband doesn't really like breakfast, but he gobbled them up this morning. Recipe from Frugal Antics of a Harried HomemakerPancakes  (I halved the recipe and made 8 pancakes)

Cinnamon Swirl

In a large microwave safe bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon until smooth.  Microwave on high for 10 second increments until it is soft and can be squeezed through a pastry bag.  Transfer mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a medium tip.  Or, you can use a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off.

Pour pancake batter onto hot griddle.  Pipe cinnamon mixture onto batter in a swirl shape.

When pancakes are lightly browned, flip and cook until done.

Cream Cheese Icing 

Combine ingredients using a hand mixer, mixing until smooth. Pour the icing into another pastry bag or Ziploc bag. 

Drizzle it over the cooked pancakes.

 

Cinnamon swirled deliciousness!
